Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt (The Dark Knight Rises, Inception, Looper, 500 Days of Summer) made a big splash with The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories—so now he’s back with volume 2! One of the most ingenious and successful projects to come out of Gordon-Levitt's online creative coalition hitRECord—an international collaboration of artists and writers—The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories: Volume 2 offers more quirky, delightfully small, ingeniously illustrated haiku-like tales, proving once more that the universe isn’t made of atoms; it’s made of tiny stories. The best things do come in small packages.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“From the department of Perfect Hipster Stocking Stuffers . . . Buy it for your brooding-artist cousin, but then selfishly decide to keep it for yourself.” — Philadelphia City Paper

“Not just a coup for [hitRECord.org] but also an object lesson in how it works.” — New York Times

“Told with haiku-like precision.” — LA Weekly

“This tiny book is a winner . . . half short story collection, half communal poem.” — Flavorwire, 10 Must Reads for December 2011

“Ingeniously illustrated . . . witty . . . meaningful.” — Entertainment Weekly

“HitRECord.org, where tens of thousands of contributors now bring their original music, text, illustrations and footage, lets people really “share” their work - not in the YouTube sense of simply posting something and hoping for an enthusiastic response, but in the true spirit of collaboration.” — Salon

“These clever little stories-really more like illustrated haikus-often pack a wallop despite their slender length, running the gamut from funny to poignant to just plain strange.” — The Hollywood Reporter

“A victory for the enduring power and allure of physical, bound books.” — The Millions

“Gordon-Levitt has culled quirky gems for Vol. 2. A handsome hardbound book full of wit, whimsy, and a little wisdom.” — Philadelphia Inquirer

“A brand new collection of moving (and funny!) stories from the hitRECord family and It Books.” — Entertainment Weekly

From the Back Cover

The universe is not made of atoms; it's made of tiny stories.

Beautifully made book! Each story is a simple sentence that invokes creative thoughts accompanied by delightful illustrations. I bought 3 of these. One for myself and 2 others as gifts to friends who'd appreciate a fun, quick read. This book will make you smile. Can't wait for the next volume to come out.

I absolutely adored the first book, and honestly it only gets better in the second one! The illustrations are all unique and individual and are PERFECT with the stories. It is just amazingly adorable, touching, and sometimes even heart warming. Joe really is on to something here by having these large collaborations from HitRECord! What's even better is that the people who put in their time, effort, and talent get some profits!!! Definitely recommend these!

I absolutely adore Tiny Stories. Just a few words and a small image sends the imagination soaring! Each story has a story inside of it and allows your mind to interpret it in so many ways. It feels like the book caters to my emotions. I can read it a thousand times and get something new from it each time. I challenge you to pick one story within these beautifully illustrated pages and read it in different emotional states. You'll feel the magic with each word...I promise :)

If you're looking for literature with a deep plot and in depth character development, this ain't the book for you. If you're looking for something fast, amusing, and sometimes thought provoking with fun illustrations, this is it. You can pick it up, turn to any page, and get something worth reading. It's kinda like a literary fortune cookie but no fortunes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as good as Volume 1!
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2013

"The Tiny Book of Tiny Stories Volume 2" is as much of a gem as Volume 1 was. Volume 2 is a little darker than the first. These stories will make you laugh. They will make you smile. They will make you a little sad. But most of all, these stories will make you think. If you loved the first volume like I did, you cannot go wrong getting the second volume. I'm looking forward to the third volume (due out in November) - here's to hoping it's just as good as the first two.

5.0 out of 5 stars Un libro para conservarlo
Reviewed in Spain on June 19, 2020

Me encantan estos libros, tengo los 3 y son preciosos.

Cada página es una minihistorieta con su dibujo correspondiente de un autor. Es decir, en un mismo libro habrán como 40 minicuentos (tienen 2-3 líneas cada uno) y una ilustración.

Son todos en inglés y creo que la idea es estupenda

5.0 out of 5 stars El mundo está formado de pequeñas historias.
Reviewed in Mexico on June 1, 2017

Para aquellos soñadores, detallistas, buscadores de la estética, creativos... Todo aquél que quiera sumergirse en pequeño mundo de cortas historias acompañadas de hermosas ilustraciones... Esto es para ti. Cada hoja viene acompañada de una muy pequeña historia que no dudes que va a elevar tu inspiración, y las ilustraciones son realizadas por varias personas que se incorporaron a este colectivo.
Un pequeño tesoro que te sacará una sonrisa.

Sobre Amazon, sin duda sus envíos son muy rápidos y seguros. Desafortunadamente no ponen empaque de burbuja o papel para evitar que se maltraten los libros, por lo que llegó algo con golpes en las orillas. Espero que Amazon considere poner algo de "relleno" en sus cajas para evitar esto en el futuro.
